After the primary, Adeyeye had
said he was satisfied with the exercise that produced Olusola, but his
supporters told TheCable that he would leave the PDP.
In a statement released on
Tuesday to announce his defection, Adeyeye said leaving the PDP “was not an
easy decision to make”.
He said: “Expectedly patriotic
leaders of the party appealed to me to reconsider my decision in the light of
my previous services and loyalty to the party. But the issue was never about me
as a person.
“It was about the interest of the
very many people who associate with me and more importantly the collective
interest and future of Ekiti people. For me politics has always been an
opportunity to serve and make contribution towards the development of my
community and the nation.
“Therefore where I am compelled
to make a choice between loyalty to a political party and loyalty to my
community, l will readily chose my community or state. Political parties come
and go but the community remains. I cannot change my state or hometown but I
can always change my party if I feel that it can no longer serve as a vehicle
for our collective good as a people.
“As a thoroughbred Ekiti person
with a deep love of this land and the people It is incumbent on me to resist
and stop the evil agenda of one man to put our people in perpetual enslavement.
I have said No to Fayose’s continuity of dictatorship, impunity, imposition,
poverty, unprecedented looting of our common patrimony and deliberate
debasement of the self esteem of our people.
“For my friends, admirers,
patrons and well wishers I want to reiterate that Fayose is an impossible
person to deal with. A pompous martinet with a huge ego ,he is deliberately
divisive and deceitful. He does not believe in reconciliation and no effort at
reconciliation will work with him.
“Therefore after deep
introspection and wide consultation with various stakeholders in this State, my
supporters and I have decided to leave Egypt which the Fayose administration
represents and join hands with patriotic Ekiti people to board the train of the
APC for the onward journey to our promised land.
“We are joining forces with
eminent Ekiti sons and daughters to free our land from the Vulture and predator
feeding fat on our common wealth. We want to set our land free and never again
shall we entrust our land unto the hands of unknown person with unverifiable
pedigree to ride roughshod on our people.”
